Chapter 33 - so many thoughts

Ding!

[you have successfully created an automated attack. attack will be fully automated once a name for the attack is chosen.]

"hmmmmm a name Damon says with a smile exiting the house.

He decided to wait until the meeting was over before continuing the process of his new attack.

"everyone as you all know I will be leaving as soon as day break heading to the capital. we have informed the wounded of our plans and as you can see they now stand among you and have chosen to stay or go. I will need everyone that has decided to leave relocate to the right and everyone who's staying move to your left. sir Hughes said to them.

Sir hughes then informed the people staying to follow miss grey. while telling everyone who planned to leave to return to their resting place and prepare to move out in the morning.

around two hundred people including the Mongrels were now gathered in one area after following miss grey. sir hughes arrived shortly after.

"attention everyone the real meeting is for the people who plan to stay, now I'll make this short and brief. A young man has chosen to give everyone remaining an opportunity. an opportunity to thrive within the safety of his city not too far away from here.

it's a city that none of us have ever known to exist so before you all start thinking about what particular city could be so close to ours without us knowing. it just was recently discovered and take my word when I say it is our best shot for building a new life and home for ourselves. however there are a few conditions that have to be meet before his invitation is concrete.

"this liquid that's in this vile is very special. sir Hughes says while holding it up. one of the young man's conditions is for everyone to take a drop of this liquid. He calls it truth serum. that person then will be forced to speak nothing but the absolute truth for a full minute."

hearing this everyone gasped in disbelief.

chatter! chatter!

" how can such a thing exist and where did you get it from." one man shouted. the crowd erupted in conversation amongst eachother again.

"silence everyone, how I obtained such a thing doesn't matter. What matters is if you want to be a part of this new city and home you must be asked five questions.

1. Do you agree to never give up the location of the city no matter what.

2. Do you have any negative feelings towards anyone here. such as killing intent.

3. can you be trusted

4. do you agree to follow all city rules once they have been established.

5. will you protect the city at all costs.

hearing all of the questions many of them agreed right away. at first they all believed that with this liquid their personal business along with secrets and entire mind would be picked apart but once hearing there were only certain questions asked and learning only five that had nothing to do with their personal life many agreed while others decided to wait until they saw how the questioning goes.

Damon and jolly moved out of the crowd and stood out the way. "did you tell sir hughes not to mention your name or something. no I didn't, he probably believe it's best to keep it amongst ourselves until the truth serum process is over. yea that does makes sense I guess."

"we can just stay out the way over here after all it's our city and we don't have to take Javaline's serum. " Damon says.

Levy noticed Damon and jolly left from the crowd and so did steel and the others.

"have they decided not take the liquid or something. asked bay I don't know maybe they just wanted to get a better look before hand." copper responded.

the testing had begun and from the first person to the last person. no one could take there eyes off the golden sparkling colored liquid. Damon had to run around the corner and make two more viles and give it to miss grey who gave it to sir hughes. upon everyone tested only 30 people failed and surprisingly not a single mongrel failed the test which surprised sir hughes greatly.

"it seems this group of mongrels are beyond trust worthy their loyalty is strong to the one named Castle I seen in that video spade showed me. they have strong morals, is this why none of them failed."sir hughes questions himself.

Old man butcher was amongst the last few people along with kimbo and jack who took the truth serum. Damon and jolly didn't like the fact they chose to stay behind but it was sir hughes doing and it was because when sir hughes went to test the liquid out he chose to test it on jack and Kimbo. which gave sir Hughes a little information. he knew he could get information out of them without it but had to see how the serum worked.

Jack and Kimbo didn't know much besides some information they got from Taylen days ago which was they were to leave village city soon and that there were a select amount of families to accompany them but with Jack standing up to Taylen in beast free forest for kimbo which pissed him off the relationship between them had been cut so jack and Kimbo believed that was the reason their families was not selected to escape. they only knew about sir Clayton leaving village city with others because they were close with Taylen at the time.

to Damon surprise jack and Kimbo passed the test but that didn't mean a single thing to him and jolly. they both took sir hughes advice and let it go but they also made it very clear to sir hughes if they stepped out of line to them or anyone else in way that threatened a life. they personally would put them down for good and sir Hughes agreed knowing they were serious.

Damon and jolly finally got the information needed and It turned out kimbo was telling the truth about Taylen leaving. the only thing was he didn't know where he had gone and neither did he know they had taken 3 quarters of the city battle forces with them until sir hughes informed them of his on suspicion about sir Clayton seeing the attack on village city with his ability.

Damon didn't understand. if sir Clayton forsaw the attack then why didn't he prepare for it instead of running away. was one of the questions he had asked sir hughes when finding out. sir hughes had no answer because he didn't fully understand how sir Clayton's ability worked.

After everyone was done they all were told get some rest and the thirty people who failed were forced to join the others who were heading out with sir hughes in the morning.

Everyone left to get rest leaving sir hughes, miss grey, nurse heart, jolly, Damon, spade and bison. sir hughes had asked jolly and Damon to stick around to go over some things.

They were informed by sir hughes that Damon and Jolly were the ones who had found the city and so sir hughes urged Damon to explain a few things regarding the city. sir Hughes also explained to them that Bison had agreed to accompany him to the capital for some business that must be taken care of immediately dealing with the mongrels arrival on planet syair.

they spoke with each other for fifteen minutes hashing out a few things before going their separate ways. it was set for everyone who passed the test to be told who exactly the city belongs to for tomorrow morning.

Before sir hughes left he handed Damon a piece of paper while giving him a serious look. "Mr. blade I expect you to complete and master at least two of them before my return. also would it be a problem if you were to prepare ten more viles of truth serum I believe it will sway many minds into doing what must be done in order to protect our new comrades here." he says speaking about the mongrels.

Damon didn't know what sir hughes was getting at but instantly thought of Levy. he didn't know how the truth serum could protect the mongrels and felt it wasn't his place to ask while agreeing to sir hughes request.

"Mr. Drixx may I speak with you in private it will only take a minute sir hughes added while walking over to Jolly.

Damon decided to head back camp. along the way he opened the system screen and began pondering on a name for his new attack. "it's just a ball of electricity but what should I call it hmmmm maybe if I use it in another way then I have used it before it would help me come up with one." he thought.

Originally Damon would just throw them at an enemy or push it into an enemy. they did minimum damage and he noticed they had a greater chance of paralyzing a person.

A ball of electricity was formed in his hand as he looked at it very closely. It popped and crackled a little but the main thing he noticed was the movement of his ki within it. his ki rippled in waves then realeasd a small surge of electricity which caused the popping and crackling sound.

"it primarily shocks my opponent so It only makes sense giving it a name that somewhat explain what it can do." Damon stopped walking as his mind began turning.

"shocking balls, no that's dumb oh wait paralysis sphere, no that won't do. Damon then went to his attacks that he had already.

looking at his attacks again he noticed most of them were still at level 1 and there was no clear sign or status that would tell him if any of them were close to level 2 which confused him a bit. hearing his thoughts shield repeated the same thing he told him about evolving. "you will feel it within your body and power when a certain move or attack is on the verge of leveling up so don't worry about it."

with shield words he got back to thinking of a name trying to get an idea from his other attacks. "static sphere, yea I guess that'll do it he says quickly informing the system of his decision.

Ding!

[A new automated attack had been successfully created.]

Static sphere Lvl 1 [✓] A ball of pure electric static that has a high chance of

temporarily paralyzing a person for 10 seconds depending of their level of resistance to electric currents. 10 percent ki output.

Reading his first successful automated attack that he created put a wide smile upon his face. Damon knew how difficult it was for anyone to create and Manipulate any type of power into an attack that had a form which would increase its power by using it in other ways.

he thought about Taylen being able to form his fire into swords which took great concentration but with his powers after successfully repeating the same attack a thousand times he could make it into an automated attack which didn't require him to focus at all.

to him it was the best thing he could ask for because within a battle of life and death focus was everything. he believed he could focus more on actual close combat more as well. "it's not a powerful attack but it's still a walk in the right direction." he thinks to himself arriving back in the house with the others.
